Chapter 390 Time does not exist
Full moon night.

Above the ruins, there is a reflection of the Bagua projection that is unique to Blue Star.

The projection slowly rotates.

The barrier that was protecting the ruins slowly dissipated.
"Incredible."

In the distance, a crowd of people watched this scene. Of course, only two people could understand it, Yelena and Alison.

"This is a unique algorithm. It seems to cover everything. Do you understand it, dear?"

As a mage, Ye Lina is naturally interested in these things.

"I know a little bit about it. It's an ancient myth. Simply put, it's a magic spell bestowed upon humans by gods. With it, you can calculate everything, such as fate."

“It’s really profound.”

Alison's pupils glowed emerald green.

"Theoretically, if it is given enough energy, it can indeed calculate everything. However, even a demigod may not be able to afford this energy."

"Fortunately, I did not disgrace my life."

After a while, Hu Jiu came up to Li Zhongren and bowed.

"Brother Hu, you've worked hard. Let's go in and take a look."

After saying that, Li Zhongren led the way. Anyway, he was almost immortal under normal circumstances.

“Crunch, crunch…”

The metal door slowly opened, and the roar of gears meshing echoed throughout the ruins.

When everything was settled, everyone looked inside.

It's not as twists and turns as imagined.

Instead, there is only a long path leading deep underground.

"Is everything all right, Lao Hu?"

Wang Shou asked.

"How would I know."

Hu Jiu shrugged and watched Li Zhongren walk over with big strides.

"Anyway, with Brother Li here, there's nothing to be afraid of."

"That's true."

Wang Shou looked at Li Zhongren with both envy and fear in his eyes, because he had seen Li Zhongren display his abilities, the fusion of flesh and blood with inorganic matter. Was he still a human being?
The sound of footsteps echoed in the long corridor.

With the help of the light magic, the group didn't know how long they had walked before another door appeared in front of them. Li Zhongren raised his hand and placed it on the door.

The star map above seemed to come alive, and the relief moved like a living thing, wandering on the surface of the door. Finally, the door slowly opened.

Obviously, after cracking the self-destructive formation, the builders of the ruins seemed to know that ordinary mechanisms were useless, so there seemed to be no danger.

The door was pushed open by Li Zhongren.

What comes into view is a huge, wide, even vast underground space.

The stars are shining.

The dome above seems to be a sky made of stars.

On the ground is a huge lake.

Or rather, like a lake.

Because when Li Zhongren stepped on it, slight ripples appeared, but he didn't fall down.

"Do you know whose grave this is?"

Yelena looked at Alison.

"do not know."

Alison shook her head.

"Haha, even your library doesn't know about this. It seems that this relic must be very old."

Alison ignored Yelina's sarcasm and looked at everything around her.

She really didn't know whose tomb this was, but what was certain was that it should be a legendary powerful person related to the stars, or even a more powerful existence, such as a fallen demigod. Yes, in the world of Faerun, demigods could also fall.

The twelve demigods today are no longer the original demigods.

And every time a demigod falls, there is a disaster that sweeps across the entire Faerun.
Li Zhongren stopped because they had reached the center of the hall.

A light curtain was upside down on the ground that looked like a lake, and inside it was a coffin.

"Brother Hu, I leave it to you."

Li Zhongren cupped his hands.

Hu Jiu didn't waste any time. He picked up the compass and started rotating around the light curtain.

"This is a space barrier."

However, before he could come up with any results, Ye Lina spoke up.

"Using magic, the space is folded into a high-dimensional gap. It looks like the coffin is inside, but in fact, it is unknown how far away it is. Any attack, even if this relic is destroyed, can only bury it, but cannot destroy the coffin inside."

"Can it be cracked?"

Li Zhongren looked at Hu Jiu.

At this time, Hu Jiu had also stopped, and at the same time, the reflection of the Bagua was once again projected on the ruins.

"Yes, but you only have one chance."

"What do you mean?"

"Brother Li, since we can get here, the tomb owner should have assumed that we have broken the self-destruct barrier outside. Therefore, any complex barrier placed here will only be broken in the end. So, he found another way."

"This barrier can be used to input a stop command, but it can only be input once. If you input it incorrectly, it will be stopped."

"If the input is wrong, this space fixed by the power of the stars will be exiled, and no one knows where it will go."

On the side, Alison suddenly spoke.

"Besides, I also know who is buried here."

"Who?"

"An existence whose power far exceeds that of a legend, but who gave up the fight for demigod power because he did not like war, the Star Master Alphonse."

“It’s that person.”

Ye Lina murmured to herself, and then looked at Li Zhongren.

"He was a legendary wizard from more than 2,000 years ago. He once had a chance to defeat a demigod and gain his power, but he gave up. Afterwards, no one knew where he went. Unexpectedly, he was buried here. But wait."

Suddenly, Ye Lina reacted.

"Um, Mr. Hu, don't you find any traces of curse here? I came here to curse."

"If it's a curse, it should be buried somewhere outside the periphery. If you want to find it, you have to wait until the engineering team comes to dig it up."

"So, there is no need to disturb the great sage's sleep, right?"

Alison looked at Li Zhongren and Ye Lina.

"I listen to Yelena."

Li Zhongren shrugged and took a few steps back. He would not get involved in a war between women.

"Yelena."

"I prefer... Well, okay, I have the same idea, we can just dig around the periphery."

Ye Lina did not challenge Alison in the end. After all, she had to respect this great sage.

"No, I don't think so."

Suddenly, Hu Jiu raised his hand.

"Madam, I agree with your protective excavation. However, when we arrived here, the cemetery had already entered the countdown. Without the protection of the barrier outside, the structure here cannot last for too long. When the balance here is broken, this coffin will exile itself."

"That was the Great Sage's own choice, so let him be exiled."

"No, I mean that this self-exile will be very large."

"How big is it?"

"At least it will cover the entire rainforest, and possibly even the surrounding towns."

"How can it be"

Alison frowned.

"The Great Sage is not such a person."

"Perhaps, this is a test?" Ye Lina raised her finger.

"Within the limited time, if we solve this problem, maybe we can hear the message from the great sage."

Alison said nothing, but she felt that her arch-enemy's guess made sense.

Everything proves that this may indeed be a test.

"So, Brother Hu, can you crack it?"

"Unfortunately, I don't have that ability."

"Then I will prepare to notify those villages and towns."

"But I think Blue Star should have it."

Hu Jiu raised the corner of his mouth slightly and spoke.
-
"Blue Star Excavation Team Captain Chen Tao and all team members are here to meet Major General Li!"

One day later.

The floating transporter transported an entire archaeological excavation site, along with various machines, outside the ruins.

"Thank you for your hard work, I think you all know the situation."

"When we came here, we already knew the situation here through the intelligent brain, and big data analysis also provided corresponding solutions."

"So fast?"

Aside, Alison blinked.

Big data models, she knows.

It is similar to the existence of a weapon spirit, but its computing power is by no means comparable to that of a weapon spirit. It is the ultimate killer weapon of Blue Star.

In fact, all electronic products sold by Blue Star to Furen have their computing power locked.

The most advanced computing power cannot be used by the people of Furen.

The demigods seem to be studying this thing as well, because they can see its potential, but it's a pity that different fields are like different mountains.
Now, with such a complicated defense, the other party had actually figured out how to crack it on the way here?

"It's okay. Go ahead and introduce yourself. She is Alison, a legendary druid, and the supervisor of this ruins development."

"Meet Ms. Alison."

Chen Tao quickly stretched out his hand, then bowed awkwardly, because the people of Furen do not have the custom of shaking hands.

"Excuse me, how do you plan to break that space barrier?"

"Excuse me, what are your plans?"

Not far away, Yelena pursed her lips and pinched her throat to imitate Alison's voice.

"Humph, this little cousin was like this when she was in school. She said she was a druid, but she was just like a succubus. Fortunately, she believed in the Druid sect, otherwise I would not let you see her."

"hehe."

In response to Ye Lina's words, Li Zhongren just smiled and held her hand quietly.

This woman, who had dissected countless people and whose hands were stained with the blood of countless experimental subjects, was not emotionally strong. She was even a little naive and had a strong possessiveness.

Li Zhongren was not opposed to this. After all, he himself did not like the so-called harem, which was a bit messy. Having a woman at home was enough to give him a headache.

"Is such that."

Inside the ruins, Chen Tao said as he looked at the circular light curtain barrier in front of him.

"Normally, it is very difficult to break this kind of barrier by force. Only Brother Hu's post-natal Bagua formation has such ability. However, the other party has added a safety factor to this thing. If you make a mistake once, the formation will be activated, and the exile inside cannot be interfered with by the outside world."

"So, the answer given by the big data model is that we need to use another element that is equal to the space element to deal with it."

"On par with space? Time?"

Li Zhongren couldn't help but speak.

"As expected of a major general."

Chen Tao flattered him subtly. A legendary human being was so powerful that no compliment was too much. They were just civil servants who had to work in the wind and rain. If they could build a good relationship with such a person, it would be easier for them to go anywhere.

"Yes, that's the time."

"Whether it's Blue Star or Faerun, there is no such thing as eternity."

"Because we all have to obey the law of increasing entropy in the universe."

"That is, nothing is eternal, including this spatial exile barrier. In fact, according to our calculations, under normal conditions, this barrier will disintegrate on its own in about three thousand years. What we need to do is to speed up this process."

"No, we have mastered the laws of time?"

Li Zhongren couldn't help but feel a little surprised and curious.

"Time does not exist, Major General."

"what?"

"What do you think is the essence of time?"

"Time is time."

"No, the essence of time is a manifestation of the movement of the quanta that make up the world at its most basic level."

"For intelligent life, time has meaning because of the 'self', but on the scale of the universe, time has no meaning. So, in essence, time is just a unit of measurement created by intelligent life."

"It seems to make sense."

"So, what we have to do is to speed up this process without triggering the barrier."

"Attention all units."

"Outer barrier structure!"

Zhang Tao began to give orders, and under his command, his men methodically built another layer of barrier around the barrier, or a closed box on the scientific side.

"Holographic projection display!"

Dense psychic channels wrap around the core tomb chamber like a neural network, and any energy fluctuations will trigger the exile barrier.

"Install activators at all psychic pipeline points, and pay attention to the intensity."

"Inject gas number three."

"Pfft~~"

Under the operation of the staff, some kind of gas was injected between the two layers of barriers.

"Injecting nanorobots"

"Injection of time accelerator"

"All units, please take note and conduct the final self-test."

"No problem with the defensive barrier"

“No problem”

“No problem”

"This is too complicated, Lao Hu."

“It’s complicated.”

Hu Jiu looked at the double-layer barrier that was infused with some kind of golden gas.

"This thing can make the time flow faster than a hundred years in one second. In other words, in ten seconds, it can consume all the life reserves of a legend."

"If it gets leaked, people like us will turn into dry bones in the blink of an eye."

"Fuck, I'll have to stay away from you then."

"Three, two, one, start!"

As the instrument is activated.

Everyone witnessed the thrilling decay.

Time seemed to have been accelerated by a thousand years.

In the blink of an eye, the light curtain inside began to turn pale and fragile, and finally with a crash, it disappeared. The coffin inside, which was originally golden, was covered with copper green at a speed visible to the naked eye. Some kind of gemstone on it turned into powder, and finally even the runes engraved on the ground blurred into a residual image.
"Report to the Major General, mission accomplished!"

"Thank you."

Li Zhongren shook hands with Zhang Tao.

"We have a chance to drink together. Now, all of you should leave."

"Yes!"

Zhang Tao didn't waste any words. They were a non-combat unit and who knows what might go wrong when the coffin was opened. If they stayed here, they would only be a hindrance.

Soon, the engineering team evacuated the scene, leaving only Li Zhongren and others, as well as Hu Jiu and his trio.

They stayed because they are professionals in opening coffins.
